SUSTAINABLE REMEDIATION FORUM
www.sustainableremediation.org
Welcome to Miami! Thank you for attending the 2015
Bioremediation Symposium. We’re looking forward
to a great week, with about 800 environmental
professionals from 25 countries participating in the
extensive technical program and other events.
The program will present information on advances
in bioremediation and the incorporation of
green and sustainable practices in remediation.
Technologies and implementation practices will
be examined in a series of technology-focused
sessions. The development and use of advanced
tools for assessing and monitoring bioremediation
and natural attenuation, as well as the challenges
of applying bioremediation at various types of
complex sites and under extreme climatic conditions,
will be considered. Several sessions will address
biodegradation of emerging contaminants and
biofuels and the evaluation and mitigation of vapor
intrusion.
A series of sessions will cover biodegradation and
remediation of crude oil in various environments
and the management of petroleum hydrocarbon
sites. The role of biological processes in
unconventional oil and natural gas production will
be considered, reflecting the continuing challenges
of treating produced water and managing downhole
fouling.
Green and sustainable remediation (GSR)
practices will be discussed as they apply to all
stages of remediation, from remedy selection
and optimization to long-term monitoring and
management strategies. Sessions will address
the adaptation of remediation systems to climate
change, international perspectives on GSR,
and the factors that affect the implementation of
bioremediation in various regions of the world.
Short courses will be offered on Monday. The
Symposium Registration Desk will open at 2:00
p.m. Monday. The 56 exhibit booths, the Welcome
Reception, and the first poster display will open at
5:00 p.m.
The Plenary Session will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Monday. The featured presentation, “Environmental
Management in a Changing World: Lessons from
South Florida,” will be given by Leonard Berry,
Ph.D., of the Florida Atlantic University. Dr. Berry
will discuss the current and future impacts of sealevel changes on the people and environment of the
South Florida region, as well as ongoing efforts to
respond to the changes.
Sixty-one breakout sessions and three panels will
be conducted Tuesday through Thursday. Posters
will be presented in two groups, on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. More than 500 platform and
poster presentations are scheduled.

Featured Speaker
Environmental Management in a Changing
World: Lessons from South Florida
Leonard Berry, Ph.D.
Florida Atlantic University
Water is a highly
managed commodity
in South Florida, and
sea-level changes
already are impacting
both the management
system and the people
who live in it. Currently,
projected changes of
sea level are part of
the planning and development process for some
but totally ignored by others.
PLENARY SESSION
Plenary Session
ground zero in South Florida can provide opportunities for others in terms of sustainability planning
and bioremediation processes.
Dr. Berry has worked on climate change issues
globally for more than 40 years. Early in his career,
he worked on environmental research and development training programs for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the World Bank,
and several agencies of the United Nations. He is
a lead author of Chapter 17, “Southeast and the
Caribbean,” of the National Climate Assessment.
He is the founder and immediate past Director
(1994-2014) of the Florida Center for Environmental Studies, Emeritus Professor of Geosciences at
Florida Atlantic University (FAU), and the Director
of the Climate Change Initiative at FAU. In addition,
he participates in several regional, national, and
international working groups on water and climate.
He testified in April 2012 before the U.S. Senate
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on
the impacts of sea level rise in Florida. In December 2014, Dr. Berry was presented the FAU President’s Distinguished Service Medallion for his work
in understanding climate change.
Dr. Berry is an Executive Committee member of the
Florida Climate Institute, a multidisciplinary network
of seven public and private universities working
with the public and private sectors to develop a
better understanding of climate variability and
change, the impacts, and societal response.
Dr. Leonard Berry’s address will outline current
and future challenges to the people and environment of the region and explore the dilemma of
increased energy use and pollution in many of the
adaptation measures. He will describe the ongoing
responses—re-engineering infrastructure, forming
partnerships between counties and municipalities,
and rethinking planning processes. Lessons from

The International Conference on Remediation of
Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds is the
world’s largest and most comprehensive meeting
on the application of innovative and existing
technologies and approaches for characterization,
monitoring and management of chlorinated and
complex sites. The 2014 Conference was attended
by 1,650 environmental professionals from 28
countries.
The International Conference on Remediation and
Management of Contaminated Sediments is a forum
for sharing research results, practical experiences,
and opportunities associated with remediating,
restoring and maintaining the environmental and
economic vitality of waterways. Maintaining the
viability of these aquatic systems requires complex
actions that affect a diverse group of stakeholders
and touch a wide range of environmental, economic,
political and social issues.
The 2016 Chlorinated Conference will be organized
around the following themes:
v Management and Restoration of Complex Sites
v Refining the Conceptual Site Model–When Is It
Enough?
